Oh.. oh that's not funny at all *snicker* I've done that same thing before. If it makes you feel better, I once accidentally locked my infant daughter in the car while wearing a t-shirt that said "Real Geinus" on it. 🙂

Coffee just came shooting out my nose! Sorry to be laughing at your expense, but that is just too darned funny! Can't say as I've ever sewed myself to my machine, but I've done plenty of OTHER things just as silly 🙂 Thank goodness hubby was around at the right time!

(Chuckle!) How far did you stitch before you realised? I'm impressed your hubby knows how to use a seam ripper – how much did he laugh when he saw you?! Although I've never stitched myself to a quilt I've made enough mistakes to know that I should never cut or do fabric maths when I'm tired!

hahahaha ~ thanks so much for the laugh! when I was a little girl of 5 my Mom showed me how to sew with a needle and thread. I made clothes for my dolls and remember sewing what I was sewing onto my dress or whatever I may be wearing! it would make me cry.glad it was only your sleeve ~

Oh this is so funny! I'm glad for your sake that it was just your clothing and not your hand or your arm…like I had happen to me back in 1992 when I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning finishing my sons spider costume for his kindergarten Halloween parade. At 2am, with a loud crunch! the sewing macine stopped and wouldnt budge. It took me at least two minutes to figure out why and also why I couldn't move my hand….the needle had gone completely through bone and I had to unscrew the needle with my free hand, then wake up my poor husband to cut the barb off the needle and then pull it out of my middle finger bone with plyers. The tetnus shot did hurt way more than the accident though!

Too funny! Thanks for sharing. Haven't done that, but have logged so many other mishaps I now try to stay out of the sewing room during "the error hour" (which is often far longer than an hour, mostly occurs during late afternoon, but is ANY time I am tired and inattentive).

Too funny! Sure glad it was just your sleeve. You do have cute Atlas gloves for quilting. My husband loves his Atlas gloves. I love my red Fons and Porter quilting gloves, too, and feel empowered when I have them on.Mrs. Hearts

Bravo to your husband for be so helpful! It would of taken my husband an hour to unpick me if I did that. The first 45 minutes would be spent laughing at me followed by 15 minutes figuring out how to unpick me.

LOL. Thanks for sharing. And yes, I've done this, but luckily, it was my left sleeve so I could unpick myself. And I was too embarrassed to tell anyone about it until just now. Thanks for helping us all not feel so bad about the crazy things we've done.

Thank you so much for sharing the "oops" moments. I had one yesterday. I was trying to get a bunch of pieced fabric plus a border to equal a certain length for pillow shams, and I started thinking how proud I was for remembering to subtract the 1/4 inch from each side of the pieced part. Only after cutting the borders, sewing them on, and then coming up 1/2 inch short did I remember that I also should have subtracted 1/4 inch from each side of the BORDER fabric too. Ugh. Glad to know I'm not the only one who does dumb things in the name of quilting.

YIKES. Close call. I have sewn through my finger twice. Still don't know how it happened!!! I always though people who have done something like that must not have all thier marbles. Now I know how fast it can happen.

Love it! LOL I did that once hand quilting. My DH was in the hospital and I was hand quilting a small project and he asked me to get him some ice chips, and I went to stand up and my project was sewn on to my pants. Yes, I walked to the room to get ice with it still attached to my leg. 😉

Wow, 81 comments! Either people love a good laugh (thank you – I needed it!) or they love knowing that someone who makes gorgeous things (and has a clean house with little kids!) can also be totally human! Very refreshing. I just pulled an all nighter last weekend making my daughter's first communion dress, and finished the sash seconds before leaving for church. It's a real tight ship around here. (Not.)
